Abstract

[fre] Les écarts de taux entre émetteurs souverains dans la zone euro ne résultent pas de l’absence de solidarité entre les émetteurs ou de différences dans les situations macroéconomiques ou de solvabilité budgétaire. Ils viennent d’habitudes et de comportements irrationnels dans les moments de flight to quality. Le caractère « non économique » de ces écarts de taux a deux conséquences ; la discipline de marché ne joue pas : ce n’est pas parce qu’un pays a un déficit ou une dette publique plus élevés qu’il paye un taux d’intérêt plus élevé ; le marché obligataire public européen n’est pas unifié, ce qui est un grand handicap par rapport au marché américain. Comparer l’encours total de dette publique aux États-Unis et dans la zone euro n’a donc pas beaucoup de sens. . Classification JEL : E43, E6, G15 [eng] The too weak integration of public bond markets in the euro zone . The spreads of rate between sovereign issuer in the euro zone do not result from the absence of solidarity between issuers either of differences in macroeconomic situations or budgetary solvency. They come from customs and from irrational behaviour in the moments of « flight to quality ». The non-economic character of these spread of rate has two consequences ; the discipline of market does not play : it is not because a country has a deficit or a national debt more important that it pays a higher interest rate ; the European public bond market is not unified, what is an handicap with regard to the American market. To compare the total liabilities of national debt in the United States and in the euro zone thus has few sense. . JEL classifications : E43, E6, G15
